There is in our Western culture the romantic chivalric tradition still strong, though as a product of Christendom (yet by no means the same as Christian ethics) the times are inimical to it. It idealizes 'love' — and as far as it goes can be very good, since it takes in far more than physical pleasure, and enjoins if not purity, at least fidelity, and so self-denial, 'service', courtesy, honour, and courage.

The left wants INCLUSION while the right wants BELONGING. It's one or the other.
Incoming six messages I have put together regarding a possible lack of feminine products at the stores and what you can do to be ahead of the panic.
This is a bit of a deviation from normal posts here. However, I was given the ok by other mods to share this.
Imports from China are still at near zero. This may not affect a lot of staple foods that are grown in your country but it absolutely does affect plastic and paper products, such as feminine products, diapers, etc. You don't want to be caught with nothing to use!
Given the state of the world, it would be prudent for you and your family to invest in making your own cloth products - cloth pads, cloth wipes, even cloth diapers. If you have a sewing machine you're already ahead of the game. If you don't, a cheap 80$ Brother, or even borrowed from a friend or family or found from a thrift or sewing / vacuum store are great places to look. If you're not fond of crafts and DIY (which I highly recommend every family geared woman should be), check etsy... Just check the shop for the source.
If you're ready to sew, here are some tutorials, I have used them myself and can attest to their efficacy.
